We have only 14 days left until final exams begin. Students make sure you are preparing now for your final exams. Review key vocabulary terms each night, develop better sleep patterns by going to bed at the same time each night, eat breakfast each day, and most importantly be an active learner in your classes over the next three weeks. You are in the final stretch and now is the time to go all in to be successful in your classes.
The exam schedule will be as follows: Friday 5/23 - 4th Period Exams, Tuesday 5/27 - 3rd Period exams, Wednesday 5/28 - 2nd Period Exams, Thursday 5/29 - 1st Period Exams. Each exam session will begin at 8:05. Students should bring a fully charged Chromebook to their testing site when they arrive each day so they can be logged into their exam prior to 8:05. No one will be allowed to leave a testing session until the session is complete so students should work hard and utilize the time allotted for each session to perform their best. Tutoring is available for students wishing to be better prepared for their exams through either their teacher or through the NCVPS Edvantage system which is available for free to all PCHS students. Please let us know if you would like tutoring and are having any difficulty getting it arranged.
